Can I request to be in a particular wave or have my own start time?

 
  • Unfortunately not. Your race start time will be set in advance and will be changed once assigned by the Race Director.
  • Bear in mind TriAthy 2017 will involve logistics for 2,200 people over four different races, so bespoke requests like this are very impractical and can not be entertained.
  • In 2017, we expect to introduce a new "Rolling Start" format where instead of set wave times, there will be a continuous flow to the race starts. We expect this to significantly reduce wait times at the Race Start area. Details of this new format will be released in due course.

How is my Age Category determined?

 
  • In accordance with the ITU rules, your age is deemed to be your age as at 31 December 2017.
  • Here’s an example of what this means:
    • Mary turns 40 on 31 July 2017.
    • TriAthy is in on 3 June 2017, a few weeks before her birthday.
    • Even though Mary will be 39 when she races at Athy, the ITU rules state that she must race in the 40-44 Age Category
    • Why? - Because her age will be 40 on 31 December 2017.
  • Your category will be automatically generated when you enter, so don’t worry we’ll do the hard part!
